Why are we talking only abt the rural India? this is the problem of whole of India..do u think women are treated respectfully in urban cities? female infanticide , rape, domestic violence ,prostitution we all are dealing with these issues in everyday life..i read abt them in the newspaper everyday i wake up !
ru trying to say girls are not forced to marry someone double triple their age? i read of an incident where a man married his daughter in law after she was widowed ! and he also had children with her...can u imagine this? we're living in this age where a father rapes his own daughter!
I consider myself extremely lucky and blessed to be born and brought up in the family who loves me and provided me all luxeries of life and getting married into an equally loving family......but not all are lucky...God forbid if u were born in some remote village of Haryana i bet u wudn't have been alive to see all this..
just bec. these things aren't happening around you doesn't mean the makers of BV are foolish and ignorant...the world is progressing but our mindset has a long long long way to go.....
